1 | java.awt.Component class implements the Serializable interface and any bean extending this class or any of its subclasses is automatically Serializable and hence can be persistent |
2 | Note Object class is not Serializable and so one must inherit from a subclass of Object that is Serializable in order to automatically get this property |
3 | One can explicitly implement the Serializable Interface by supplying writeObject() and readObject() |
4 | Beans should store references to external Beans as transient as linkage is responsibility of BeanBox |
5 | Externalizable Objects must implement writeExternal() and readExternal() methods for user implemented persistency |
